This podcast episode explores the importance of maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm and the consequences of circadian disruption on overall health. The master clock in the hypothalamus regulates the body's internal clocks, and disruptions in sleep patterns and exposure to light at inappropriate times can have serious health implications. Circadian disruption is linked to conditions such as cancer, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, mental health issues, and fertility problems. It is crucial to prioritize regular sleep-wake patterns and align oneself with natural light and darkness cycles to protect overall well-being.
